When I ordered the item from the website it did not indicate it was a backordered product When I called customer service the # provided would only hang up. I then emailed and it took 3 days for a response via email only to tell me the item WAS backordered and wouldn't be available until July 2022. I chose not to cancel and was surprised it showed up a few weeks later. I'm glad I got the product, but overall not happy with the hoops I jumped through to find out what was going on. I won't be ordering from this company again

Fast and accurate delivery and description.

I was very satisfied with the ordering process; however, I paid $10 extra to have it delivered in 2 days. It was ordered on Friday and not received until the following Wednesday. So do not waste your money on faster shipment, go with the free shipping instead.

Great
